A barber shop gets its name from the Latin word barba, which means beard. Barber shops are where people go to get a hair cut, have their beards trimmed and have their facial hair shaven. A barber is someone whose occupation is to cut hair, give shaves and trim beards.

Barber shops deal with facial hair when requested, but specialize in the cutting of men's hair. Barbers do not generally offer significant styling or haircuts when compared to hairdressers or stylists working in hair salons. Most are licensed as barbers and not as cosmetologists, and work at a barbershop not a salon.

Due to the evolution of online barber shops that allow clients to make reservations and special requests through the shop's website, some barbers prefer to be viewed as hair dressers or hair stylists. The fact is that a barber cuts hair, trims beards, colors hair, performs perms, provides facials and shaves facial hair. They are also licensed to work with hair replacement products, such as toupees and hair pieces.
